[Sez281]

Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.
@Jadeypie
@Westy22
@Freddie15VES
@fleur89
@Strawb28
@DmcinT
@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

Definitely going to get AF the mood swings today are in full force already 🤣 wanted to kill myself because I knocked a glass of water over 🙃

When I test @Jadeypie I do morning when i get up for work, not always the same time which is probably wrong lol think I read the best time was from 10am? When I'm approaching the days I usually peak between cycle day 12-14...I test morning and evening 🤞@Sez281 may have a different method lol as I can't say my technique is working well 🤣😑

Look at these for a difference in charts lol definitely see why I've felt alot more stable this month 👀

Welcome @HaylsTtcAfterLoss I'm so sorry for your loss. This page is great for keeping you sane, especially in the tww!

@Westy22 Jesus that's some difference between last month and this! Hormone's definitely look more chilled now! I was considering temping too but feel like it's another thing I'll become obsessed with 🥴 Any sign of AF yet?

@Jadeypie which opks did you get? I use the Premom easy@home. I usually test once every day after AF in the afternoon or evening then twice about 5 days later but as my cycles seem to be getting shorter now I'll start twice a day early afternoon and evening. I think clear blue ones are fmu but most internet ones pick up LH better later in the day

I know lol @Sez281 I'm not sure about AF I've had some light brown cm this eve and a tiny bit of pinky blood mixed with clear CM so maybe it's about to start? X

@Sez281 one step I think they are called. I'm gona test once af finishes and then go from there I'm on cycle day 4 now so be able to start in a few days. Still need to get a ap with the gp too. Xx

@Westy22 when is af due? Xx

Flo had me due on yesterday and premom says Saturday. Nothing since the tiny bit I had before but do feel a bit achey. Cervix still quite high atm so thinking I'm going to come on in the next day or so xx @Jadeypie @Sez281

Ladies! I'm back! Thanks so much for the tag @Sez281 - felt so touched that you thought of me even while I was AWOL!

I'm feeling so much brighter for a month away from MN (no offence to you all 😂) I think I had just got far too much into my head about everything and it wasn't doing me any good. I've been doing yoga and spending time with family and processing some tough feelings about the pregnancy I lost (due date would have been next month and I cannot believe how quickly that has come around!!) aaaand I'm feeling in a much better headspace.

Have just had a quick catch-up on the thread. Glad to hear everyone is doing ok. Think there've been a couple of BFPs while I was gone too?! Congratulations! 🥰

Look forward to getting back into the swing of chats!

Awwww welcome back @SnookyPook! Delighted to hear that the break has done you the world of good💕. And no offence taken at all 😂 I'm on holidays at the moment and find it great not checking every thread on MN (apart from this one of course lol) Are you tracking this cycle or just going to wait and see?

@Jadeypie we'll prob be starting opks around the same time. I'd say AF will be done for me tomorrow. You're right to still go to doc though. I'm definitely gonna go see mine when I'm back.

@Westy22 any sign of anything? Must be frustrating having 2 different predicted dates for AF 🥴

Welcome back @SnookyPook , nice to see you and glad you are feeling better after a break, it’s definitely needed at times 😍

Welcome back @SnookyPook glad your feeling in a better place 😊

@Sez281 nope, cervix still high and nothing else happening, was convinced it would arrive this morning. Why do my cycles feel well longer than yours and @Jadeypie 🤣 ment to be booking a last minute holiday for next week and sods law it will arrive for that 😑 I do feel like I'm gonna come on though getting an achey feeling. X

Hi @SnookyPook I'm glad you've had a good break!

Sending positive vibes to everyone this month.

I hope you don't mind me popping back in to update that we've had our 20 week scan and all is looking well. We've found out we are expecting a boy! It hasn't properly sank in yet, but it's a big relief to have seen him on screen again.

@SnookyPook welcome back!! It's great to hear you feel in a better head space. Sometimes, we just need to do what's best for us at the time. Xx

@Sez281 af defiantly slowing down so no doubt we will be comparing opks hahah xx

@Westy22 seriously don't even compare to my cycles hahaha. I just don't even no any more. I'm sure when u mentally decide to conceive your body thinks narrr let's just mess around for abit xx

@HopeAndStrength that’s brilliant news, the 20 weeks scan is always nice as they have to take so many measurements you get a lot more screen time!

@HopeAndStrength awww lovely news 🩵🩵 you get such a good scan picture at twenty weeks aswell bet you can feel him bouncing round now too. I used to love movements and mine always got the hiccups haha he still does now xx

Thank you @xxcxdonxx and @Jadeypie - yes it was amazing to see everything, the sonographer said he was sucking his thumb at one point. I feel little movements in the evenings most days now, it's strange but lovely!

Morning everyone, is it me or is it lovely to wake up to some fresh air this morning 🤣🤣

Anyway I have the drs at 10.45 to get some insight on my messed up cycles spotting ect. Poor drs going to be like wow this women's obsessed 🤣 I've actually been tracking cycles since 2017 ha. Af seems to be stopping now I think I say that because I keep thinking this then bam it's there again!

@Westy22 any news xx

Good luck at your appointment @Jadeypie That must be so frustrating and difficult to track. I would start spotting about a week after ovulation so basically extended my period by another week.
Hopefully you get some answers today, you will have plenty of data on your side!

Morning @Jadeypie think AF will be in full swing tomorrow I'm getting watery brown blood when I wipe so feels like it's starting. I hate this though...only good thing with the pill was atleast I knew down to the hour when I was going to come on and none of this spotting 🤣 would rather it kick in today tbh as we are going away Monday and would like it tail off a bit by then lol x think I need this little break with the OH just to chill out, don't think I'm going to take any OPK sticks, OH always appears to be more in the mood on holiday so figured it won't be needed 🤣 and I'll probably ovulate just as we return anyway.

Feeling okay about it though nearly had a wobble but pulled myself back up after watching some insta vids from the worst girl gang ever lol one really hit home for me....she was talking about her body taking forever to let go of the MC, not getting back to normal and how she hated it for it, until her mum told her to tell her body it was okay to let go as clearly her body was so desperate to keep going too. Made me look at myself so different...like why did I hate myself so much for it 🙈 anyway think I made peace with my uterus 🤣 so hopefully I get pregnant soon 🤣🤞🤞

Good luck with your appointment today xx

Hope your okay @xxcxdonxx & lovely news @HopeAndStrength a little boy 💙

I think many of us could say the same @Westy22 and have felt angry by our bodies for doing that to us. It’s a tricky one to get out of thinking that way. But yea, your uterus is wonderful 🤣

Have a great holiday!!

Well... my MN break might have done me even more good than I thought... 15dpo..! Really wasn't expecting this. 🤞🏻🌈

Ohhh my goddd @SnookyPook ❤️❤️❤️ so so happy for you x

@Jadeypie hope your doctors appointment goes well! I know the feeling about the dr thinking you’re crazy, I had an appointment with mine about me having a short luteal phase and they looked clueless 😂I’m considering going private!

@Westy22 I love that analogy, reminds me that we do need to be kind to our bodies! I might watch some of their vids too 😊

@SnookyPook omg that looks promising!! Congrats 😍

I’m 9dpo today and AF is due on Tuesday however I have a feeling it will arrive on Sunday as I never usually get past 10dpo! I’m going to take a test tomorrow morning but I’m not having any symptoms which I did at this point when I fell pregnant with my MMC so I’m not too hopeful 😓

I’ve decided that if this isn’t my cycle I’m going to put the ovulation tests away next cycle and just try every 2 - 3 days which is what worked for us the first time 😊 and give my mind a little break from the tracking!

Also, just out of interest what vitamins is everyone taking? 😊

@HaylsTtcAfterLoss my only real symptom this time was developing an absolute mega spot on my cheek around 8dpo! I had some very mild cramping and a couple more spots and that was pretty much it. My CM was also different to my usual luteal phase CM - more of it and more watery/creamy.

I've just been on folic acid and Vit D.

@SnookyPook omggggg yayyyyy!! So happy for you. Lovely news 🥰🥰 lovely lines too xx

Been the drs she was lovely giving me a full mot! All hormones are getting tested she was grinning saying have u done a test said yeh done plenty like a loon all bfn haha.

Maybe that's what all need to do have a break like @SnookyPook xx
